Hello Friend!
Here is an episode that you have requested!!!
I hear you and I know you are busy and don’t have time to make meals, so I am going to give you a few really quick meal ideas that you will have ready for you when you get home in the evening or can make very quickly!!
First I want to talk a little bit about my simple system for our meals.
Here is how we organize it….. I have a magnetic board on our fridge from the dollar store with each day of the week. Obviously nothing fancy or pinterest worthy, but it is simple. I write if they have ballgames, youth group, practices or any other activities they may have so I know approximately the time we will be home. If it is later in the evening, we end up having something ready in the crockpot, or sometimes even leftovers. I only write our evening meals.
I'm telling you……your system doesn’t have to be fancy-it just has to work!
If you would like the recipes we talk about in this podcast, just email me or post it in the Claiming Simplicity Facebook Group!!!!

Hello
Friendships are a crucial part of living a fulfilling life. It’s so important that we surround ourselves with people who we have fun with, who support us, and people who make us better. You may already have beautiful friendships in your life, but if you’re still in the market for friends, it’s never too late to cultivate new relationships that will make your life even more magnificent. If you ask, God will lead you to some amazing friends! Remember, everything is in His timing, so keep praying about it!
I challenge you if you are struggling with finding good friends to join a new group of some sort, or if you live in a small area, there are many groups online where you can meet new lifetime friends as well!

Hey Friend!
Do you even know what it is like to be content?
When you constantly desire more, you are never satisfied. Because no matter how much you accumulate or achieve, you can always have more.
Most everybody who acquires more, only continues to pursue it.
It is my goal to help others simplify and become more content. Is the rat race day after day worth it for you? When will you ever be happy?
In this episode, I share 4 ways you can practice contentment in your life even if you are busy!

Hello!
Today, Im giving you 3 actionable steps you can take right away to becoming debt free so that you can get out of debt which then will create choices for you in your life. In order for me to quit my job, I worked fulltime along with having 2 side businesses around my family so that we could pay off all debt. It was a temporary inconvenience for the freedom I experience now with working my own businesses part time around my kids. I also waited until God gave me a clear answer that he wanted me to make a change and oh boy did he make it clear!!!!!! I will tell you that you do have to have goals and the mindset to be dedicated to get out of debt or you will give up too soon.
I hope that you will take action because financial freedom is so rewarding!

Hey!
I will go through some steps to help you automate habits you would like to incorporate. We discuss James Clear's book, Atomic Habits. He says a tiny change in your behavior will not transform your life overnight, but turn that behavior into a habit every day and it can lead to big changes. Changing your life is not about making big breakthroughs, but about building a positive system of habits that deliver results.
Post in the Claiming Simplicity Facebook Page what is just 1 habit you would like to add to your routine.

If you enjoy this episode, I really encourage you to read the book!
Have a great week!

Hey!
Do you want to feel peace and calm in your home so you have less stress? Once you begin decluttering, you may find that you actually love the peace and joy you feel in your home. When we simplify and declutter, we will feel less stressed physically and mentally.
